Vanessa Lorenzo
Biofriction residency
November - December 2020
Vanesa Lorenzo. Bizkaia, 1985
Vanessa Lorenzo is a researcher and trans-disciplinary designer based in Switzerland. Trained as product design engineer and media designer, she focuses on objects that address intimate interdependencies between humans and the ecologies we are embedded in. Influenced by ethno-fiction, feminist theory and speculative design methodology, she creates scenarios embedding people, the more-than-human and the technologies that interweave them in order to enable odd sympathies and post-anthropocentric futures.
During her residence in hangar in the framework of the European project Biofriction, Vanessa Lorenzo will work on _Mari Mutare_, a proposal about interspecies affections and nature cultures in times of ecological and biotechnological transition.
